8 Pink October 2025 events in Hong Kong to help raise breast cancer awareness and funds
Events this year include the annual Pink Walk from The Peak, an art jam that comes with a breast exam, wellness workshops and Dress Pink Day
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and events are taking place in Hong Kong throughout the month to raise public awareness, promote its prevention and early diagnosis, and support those affected by the disease.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Hong Kong: about one in 14 women in Hong Kong will develop it in their lifetime. According to the Hong Kong Cancer Registry, breast cancer cases have been increasing over the past decade, rising from 3,920 new cases in 2015 to 5,208 in 2022.
It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. In 2022, around 2.3 million women were diagnosed, and another 670,000 died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization.
Pink October events not only remind us of how to help prevent breast cancer and of the need for regular screening, they also raise funds for breast cancer research and services.
Here are some of the ways you can get involved and contribute in Hong Kong.
